Why really listening to your heart whispers can be a challenge
We don’t know what we will hear and whether it will be delightful or scary or neither. Yes we don’t know!
We live in a society that glorifies reason over emotion. Everything has to be logical.
People don’t trust what their heart tells them. You hear people say my head told me one thing and my heart another! An example of this can be when you are deciding on a chosen career path:
Head says be an accountant, doctor, etc
Heart says be an artist or a chef.
I am sure some of you have experienced that feeling.
Listening to the Whispers of Your Heart is a Choice!
It takes courage too!
Last Friday morning I listened to the whispers of my heart.
I had just drawn my 3 cards for the day. Courage, Dream Big and Freedom using my new system which I explain in the video here.
Then it was time to meditate and journal. I first recorded my cards and reflected on the meaning for me in the moment.
Courage was what I needed right now to make the shift that was coming.
Dream Big: The Action: That was the action I need to take. I know I have been skimming on really writing out my big dreams and then putting myself in the picture.
Freedom: The Outcome. One of my top values. Being free in every sense of the word means: being abundant in all areas of my life, and living my purpose and on purpose.
I then picked up my journal and these words flowed from my heart:
I am an artist who uses Law of Attraction to create an abundant , loving, fulfilling life,
I color, inspire and uplift you ( and the world) with my art and my words.I create change through sharing Law of Attraction tools and processes to help you live an abundant, loving, prosperous life.
I smiled. This encompasses all that I have been writing about and working towards. But in my heart I knew that there still was a missing link. Well read on my Heart knew…….
The evening before I had been talking with my long standing friend and accountability buddy, Heather about the possibility of changing my facebook group back to being the Heart Whisper Circle.
At a networking event on the previous morning I was introduced as the Heart Whisperer!
Was I going to be courageous and reassess all the changes I have been making over the past 4 months?
Have I allowed the process of achieving simplicity become too complex? Yes I was feeling torn and not my light hearted self.
It was also a very significant day, as 5 years before I found myself in a hospital bed with 3 options, life , death or dialysis. It was out of this near death experience that the Heart Whisper was born.
Now was I going to be courageous and take action, or sit back and mull it over, maybe even beat myself up? Was I going to confuse people even more?
These were the challenging questions running round in my head when I woke up on Saturday morning. Then I read a blog post: Mistakes Are Our Gateway to Self-Discovery by my friend Marquita with is wonderful quote from the Buddha:
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
I realised that what I been seeing as mistakes and bad decisions were just milestones on the learning process of this journey.
That gave me the confidence to move forward and not worry about what others might think of all my changes.
Yes I did change the group back to The Heart Whisper Circle and received this comment:
I love that you reverted back to the original name. It definitely resonates with you and your message. So happy you have healed and come through this journey to share your love & light with the world! Tae Lynne
I have a sense of inner peace, now that i finally have a way that combines my art, the heart whisper and law of attraction.

You always have my heart sining, thank you Elle and enjoy your healing time 🙂
Honoured to witness your journey lovely and cheer leading you all the way xxx
Thank you my friend for always being there and lifting me up I love you xxx
I love how you shifted the way you saw your actions as steps along the journey rather than mistakes! And, I so love that you took back the Heart Whisper Circle name for the group, which I personally resonate with. Thanks for being so brave!
Thank you Sandra and for saying I was brave- I just read your comment to Des and he said YES and you don’t really see it ! Yes it is good to be back and to be The heart whisperer happily and seen how I can combine my passions
Fascinating trio of cards Suzie. I can definitely use a little courage this week as I embark on a big project that scares me!
How exciting Ellen look forward to hearing about your big project. Take that courage in both hands and embrace it xx
What a great post, thanks for sharing. There are times that I do listen to my head and put my heart in the back seat. Ending up as the accountant. Now after lots of healing and an Illness my heart is making the choices, although I do catch myself in the head at times
Hi Tricia love seeing you here and thanks for sharing. Funny that illness has a way of us taking more notice of our heart. Catching yourself in your head you are not alone- I found myself there yesterday big time! Now it seems when i have a lapse, what come forth from the heart is stronger and more loving. xxoo
It takes courage to listen to one’s heart when the world insists we rationalize everything. Yet, it is the heart that lets us know if something is good for us or if we are on the right track. I remember reading a long time back that the heart is the seat of Intuition and your post validates it. God Bless.
Vatsala yes it does and I love that the heart is the seat of our intuition- I am going to do some research on that. I am learning more and more about the power of our heart. Thanks for sharing your thoughts adding to the conversation xx
What a lovely post, Suzie! I love your process and how in tune you are with your own ‘heart whispers’. I believe this inner voice is always in communication with, and often we are so caught up in the noise of the world around us, that we do not hear it. Wouldn’t it be grand if we all would stop, tune in and listen to ourselves? Taking actions from this soul place, always results in big change for ourselves and the world around us! Beautiful. xo
Thank you Beverley I really appreciate your comments. especially Wouldn’t it be grand if we all would stop, tune in and listen to ourselves? I hope the more I wrote about this the more people will realise the importance of the process daily. Just like your getting us to tap into nature and allow the guidance that comes xx
Wow, this post literally gave me chicken skin Suzie! For me is your point about being “willing” to listen to your heart and ironically I just finished a blog post on the power of willingness for next week. Good for you for remaining open to learning and growing from all of your experiences!
Wow Marty, chicken skin? like goosebumps:) Thanks for your support. Amazing that you have writtena post on willingness. Love how so often we are in sync. Something that often I think we don’t always embrace it. I appreciate your comments, thank you xx.
thank you for being such an inspiration and sharing your light, many blessings deb
Thanks Deb , your heart makes my heart sing thank you and blessing back xx
Oh, yes, Suzie, you said it – it takes courage. So much courage. And then we are rewarded when it feels so right, so rich, so joyous. Thank you for sharing your inspirational heart whispers.
Thank you Reba, yes I went through some pain there in thinking could I make another change and announce it 🙂 I appreciate your comment xx
Beautiful post Suzie! Loved the three cards, very powerful!! So happy that you changed the group back to The Heart Whisper Circle! love the name!
Thank you Patricia seems like you are not the only one who likes the change back to The Heart Whisper Circle. Would love for you to be part of it too 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/groups/heartwhispercircle/ xx
Suzie, You know I love you and this post and your authenticity is why I love you so 🙂
Thank you for being you!
xoxo,
Z~
Thanks Zeenat that means a lot to me. love you xxoo
What a courageous experience you went through Suzie. Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m so glad you’re back to being you again. There’s nothing better than doing what your heart desires, right? Hugs 🙂
Hi Claudia, thank you it’s good to read your words, you are so right there is nothing better than doing what your heart desires hugs to you too xx
Perspective is such an odd thing…most days I experience the world as much more emotional than rational. I love the freedom that comes when there is a balance between the head and the heart. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Andrea I agree with you that I too do experience more emotional. That is not what i see reflected in the wider world. Yes when we have the balance life flows. Thanks for sharing your thoughts adding to the conversation xx
No joke, this morning I pulled the FREEDOM card!! Woo Hoo!
So happy that you are sharing your journey back to YOU. And now…I think I need to rejoin your group. I left because of the name change and I wasn’t sure where you were going (but I also left a lot of groups because I was feeling overwhelmed by social media!) xxoo
Peggy love it 🙂 Yes woo hoo. Thank you for you honesty, I did wonder . I thought I knew where I was going , my heart knew otherwise. I totally understand the group issue. It is on my list to see what groups i can make a contribution too, I know right now it’s too many. That doesn’t serve me. So happy to welcome you back Love Suzie xxoo
Suzie, I’m so happy that my comments touched you enough to include them within your post today. You embody the HEART WHISPER name, so it is only appropriate to use it. <3 I love this quote: "There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting." When I was a corporate trainer & facilitator, I always told my students that there were no mistakes, just learning opportunities! Welcome back to your origins, my friend! <3
Tae Yes it did and it was an affirmation for me. I agree with the experience being a learning opportunities. When I started this blog post I was going to talk about this as being a learning
Thank you I will be going to sleep with love in my heart xoox
What a power trio of cards, Suzie! Grab your courage with both hands, dream big and have freedom 🙂 Your cards are beautiful – I haven’t yet ordered any and I need to do that soon.
Thanks Kat. Yes the power trio was such a big message for me. look forward to shipping cards to you when you are readyxxoo
